戏曲在世界剧坛中的历史坐标与当代价值

The Historical Coordinates and Contemporary Values of Traditional Chinese Opera in the World of Drama

戏曲在世界剧坛中的地位及当代价值曾在中外均遭到质疑,然而这种质疑在很大程度上是囿于西方中心论的文化偏见。在全球化背景下重新寻找戏曲在世界剧坛中的历史坐标,体认其当代价值,具有重要意义。戏曲是世界三大古老戏剧之一,其舞台演出一直未曾中断,艺术遗产最为丰厚,艺术生命力最为顽强,是世界剧坛中卓然特出、不可或缺的一极。戏曲集众美于一身,文化积淀丰厚,是了解中华优秀传统文化的窗口,体认东方智慧的读本,导人向善致美的生动课堂,值得我们珍视。

The status and contemporary value of traditional Chinese opera in the world have been questioned both in China and abroad,but to a large extent this questioning can be attributed to the cultural bias of West-centred theory.In the context of globalization,it is of great significance to rediscover the historical coordinates of traditional Chinese opera in the world and recognize its contemporary value.Traditional Chinese opera is one of the world's three oldest dramas.As the stage performance has never been interrupted,its artistic heritage is the richest,and its artistic vitality is the most tenacious,which makes it an outstanding and indispensable pole of the world of drama.Traditional Chinese opera,with its rich cultural deposits,is a window to the excellent traditional Chinese culture,a book to recognize the wisdom of the East,and a vivid classroom to guide people to learn goodness and beauty,which is worthy of our treasuring.
